About The Hand Hotel
The Hand Hotel has stood beside the River Dee in the centre of Llangollen for more than 400 years, and its position on Bridge Street puts it within a few minutes' walk of the bridge, the abbey ruins and the railway station. The building's age shows in exposed beams and thick stone walls, set against a more contemporary refurbishment inside.
Rooms range from compact singles to family rooms, most with private bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities and free Wi-Fi, and the hotel's Dinas Bran Bistro serves food throughout the day, with a riverside terrace and beer garden making the most of the hotel's position on the water in summer. The Denbigh Suite hosts weddings and functions, and the hotel occasionally puts on live music.
As one of the most central places to stay in Llangollen, the Hand Hotel suits visitors who want to be within walking distance of everything the town has to offer, without needing a car for the length of their stay.
People say this hotel offers a great breakfast, good food, and a well-stocked bar, with many rooms providing stunning river views. Guests also highlight the friendly and helpful staff, good value for money, and convenient parking.
Some reviews mention the rooms can be dated.
